Tears In My Eyes

All the tears in my eyes,
They’ve just about run dry.
I wish my heart could speak for itself.
Well, it won’t.

Then again, it does,
But silently, because
Everything it tells
Was once secret.

I can’t hide them anymore.
I can’t sell them at the store.
The tears in my eyes,
They are released.

My love’s my good luck charm;
How I want her in my arms.
So tenderly she told
Her heart to me.

Then I went and let her go.
She said we’d never be alone.
Now I wish I could only
Be with her.

Oh, the tears in my eyes,
They are all up in the sky.
They’re sure to come
Raining down again.

Maybe she’ll return to me,
In time, eventually.
‘Til then I’ll be lookin’
Out for her.

So, yea, I keep my hopes up,
In case she ever shows up.
I don’t want to be made blind
By tears in my eyes.

[Melody based on "Four Strong Winds" by Ian Tyson, as performed by Conor Oberst]
